PheniX.

A CITIZEN representative took in ths
 territorial fair last week at Phenix. |,
 Company with Hon. c. M. Strsuss and
 w. $. Read. Arriving Wednesday morn l ing, the party were assigned comforts-
 ble quarters at the Lemon Hotel. vhioh
 was crowded to its utmost capacity vi,A people from all over the terrltory- The Fair grounds are located sbous
 two miles from the city. and the driy. from the city Id a very pretty one along
 an avenue llned vith cottonwood treas.
 and beautiful green alfalfa fields. Ths
 grounds contain a splendid mile track,
 a commOdIOus grand stand, stables for
 race horses. stalls for stock and c IArxs
 pavilion for the display of Arizors pro ducts. The fEuit display was very hns, and one could scarcely believe that suoh raisins, pears. peaches, apples, etc, could be raised in AriZOn6- The livs
 stock exhibited, was particularly fine, aIl
 showing good blood.
 The races, of course, were the feature
 of the fair. and some of them were very
 good, only the vat between heats wss
 altogether tO long. The principal race
 was trottinz, best three out of five be- tween Hayward Chisi, formerly owned
 by Hon. E.. B Clifford, but now owned by Chas. Baldwin, and Jim Les,h, enter ed by J. A. RoaTk of tais place. JIn Leach won, making one heat Tn 2:3l. E. IS. Clifford had Jim Blaine there, s very last horse, hut there were none there fast enough Co compete with hin. SO he did not trOt IF any race.
 Next year ihc directors of the Asso- elstlOn had much better put everything into three day and have it lively, in stead of trying Co s'ring II out, during . week. The city looks very pretty, with It's wide streets. handsome buildings, and beautiful trees, ard has a very thrifty appearance. The three live dailles, She Herald, ArizOnian and Ga- zette, are hbeTaily supported by the business men, who believe ID using print CTS ink. The CITIZEN desires to return thanks to the press of Phenix. for cour- tesies extended to its representative while there. A number of people from Tucson have taken up their residence in Phenlx and seem to be doing very well. Among those noticed were J. F.. Walker, Schultz and Franklin. J. W. Evans, s. W. Carpenter. Henry Burns, J. Martini, A. Marshall, D. H. Recarse, H. B. LiZhthiZer, J. M, Henderson and U. II. King.
 Major Evans gave L. c. Hughee and the CITIZEN man 8 very pleasant rlde through the surrounding country behind his handsome ieam, and the number of acres under cultivation was astonishing. Major Evans and Schultz k Franklin seem 10 take the lead ID the real estate business, and are full of business. Lincoln Fowler also has some fine tracts for sale. 1acscn was we'll represented during :he Fair ny Hon. H. E. Lacy. Hon. C. M. Strauss. Hon. F. B. Clifford, J. \. ROark, l.. C. Hughes, H D. Under wood, W. \ Read. Hon. ;. M. Franklin, l.. h Jacobs, Capt. Johnson, Chris. Christensen and Chss. Marshal
 A very amusing incident occurred one at the Lemon Hotel, and that was Gov. Zulick and L. O. Hughes eating breakfast together Of course It was an accident, but t afforded lOts of fun to the Tucson del sgstion. The Governor looked like 6 thunder cloud, while Hughes wore happy, innocent smIle, and rather seem ed to enjoy it. Ittskes considerable Co iisconcert the average newspaper man, and Hugees IS equal 10 any emergency.
 A trip tO Pheuix should be taken by everyone who can spare the time, just o see the possibilities of southern Ari- .on8'
